Since 2009, DVV International has been involved through individual projects in Palestine, and has maintained a country office in Ramallah in the West Bank since 2012. The Gaza branch office which opened in 2013 was closed in 2023.
DVV International supports local adult learning and education (ALE) centres in the West Bank through training and counselling to diversify services, reach a larger group of participants and tailor the courses more closely to the needs of target groups. This includes, for example, the joint development of curricula based on participatory methods that take into account learners’ needs, the training of teachers to become ALE educators, and the development of strategies and plans to guarantee the sustainability of the centres.
With the start of the war in Gaza in 2023, everyday life in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank has also been characterised by increasing conflict, land confiscation and restrictions on freedom of movement. The rapidly changing security situation is increasingly limiting the scope for project work and requires flexible and creative approaches. The focus of DVV International’s work is currently being adapted to the new circumstances in partnership with local ALE centres. DVV International supports and networks its partners with the aim of continuing to provide needs-orientated educational programmes.
DVV International’s central partners in Palestine are the “Dar al-Kalima” university in Bethlehem and municipal ALE centres.
DVV International operates worldwide with more than 200 partners in over 30 countries.
